Wildling (Film)

What is it?

The 2018 American horror-fantasy movie Wildling.

What is it about?

This is how Rotten Tomatoes describes this movie:

A teenage girl’s coming of age comes with a terrifying twist in this spellbinding take on the werewolf legend.

Since birth, Anna (Bel Powley) has been raised in isolation by a man she knows only as Daddy (Chucky star Brad Dourif) who has done everything possible to conceal the truth about the girl’s origins from her.

But when the teenage Anna is suddenly thrust into the real world under the protection of no-nonsense police officer Ellen (Liv Tyler), it soon becomes clear that the young woman is far from ordinary.

Unable to adjust to a normal life, Anna finds herself drawn instead to the wild freedom of the forest, while struggling to resist the growing bloodlust that has awakened inside her.

This moodily atmospheric thriller combines supernatural scares with a myth-like tale of self discovery.

What do I like about it and what would other people like about it?

I like that this movie was better than I had expected, that the cinematography was better than expected, that this movie was not misleading, and I think that the actresses who played Anna did a pretty good job.

My Thoughts

I watched this movie with my brother GC who was the one who sent me the trailer for it.

While this movie was better than expected, there were way too many unanswered questions, the portrayal of law enforcement was not that good and was unrealistic, and Liv Tyler was probably somewhat miscast for the character that she played.
